“I have that Eddie Van Halen mentality of ‘it doesn’t really matter what it looks like – I wish someone would teach me, because it’s just been me destroying stuff!” David Pajo on modding guitars, Gang of Four and the launch of his lost folk-rock album

David Pajo.

David Pajo is an alt-rock veteran. His resume includes pioneering post-rock with Slint and Tortoise, contributing to the fleeting Billy Corgan-fronted Zwan, serving as a touring member of established bands (Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol), issuing solo albums, and currently, providing guitar for Gang of Four.

Of course, he’s known first and foremost as a guitarist, but for his latest project The Children’s Hour, Pajo has bypassed the six-string in favor of bass and drums – as heard throughout Going Home, an album that was originally recorded over 20 years ago, but is just seeing the light of day now.
